Days

Minutes
Seconds
Competition: Brazil Serie B
Competition: Wed 10.May
Match begins: 22:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estádio Municipal Presidente Getúlio Vargas (67000 seats)

Another intriguing match in the Serie B. Ceará is in the 16th place after completing four matches. They welcome Vitória who are placed 2nd after four games.

Insights:
  • Ceará have the fewest scored goals (0) at home in Serie B
  • Vitória have the most scored goals (11) in Serie B

These teams have little in common geographically as Vitória have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ceará and Vitória.
